Given the protocol, and the fact that we assume Digital Mechanism. Each copies 
are the H-guy. But oc course, not in a connected unique first person

asymmetrical after pushing the button.

It is just bad faith. A bit like Barr, McConnell and other members of the GOP. 
If you are listening to the Trump impeachment hearings, you can see how far bad 
faith can develop. It is a mystery for me how a universal machine can ever 
behave that way.
